The Device Gateway (DGW) provides an implementation of the Device Connector offering a simple integration of various IoT devices in LinkSmart® and rapid prototyping. Implementing the Device Connector functionality, it and acts as a gateway between the low-level hardware access protocol and a TCP/IP network.

The main goals behind the DGW design are:

Pluggable devices support

Natively compiled for major platforms and architectures, including arm linux

No modification/re-compilation/re-deployment of the DGW for a new device

Exposure of device capabilities as network services by declaration/configuration
